Hi, I’m John Lilley
I’ve been writing the Human Powered newsletter since 2025. Yup, that’s right. I just started. 🙂
I’ve worked in technology for almost 25 years, first as a developer and a project manager before moving into an executive role. We won a Webby Award at Vail Resorts. Lately, I’ve been the Chief Information Officer at Aspen for almost twelve years.
I’m also an Amazon bestselling fiction writer under the name Jack Arbor, where I have seven published novels and one on the way. Always a new one on the way.
You can find me elsewhere on LinkedIn and at JackArbor.com
